When the song ended, the world fell silent, and the small courtyard regained its tranquility.
Only Ye Xuan sat alone under the moon, deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Mu … Mu Mu … You … Who are you?"
Although Gu Xiaoxiao was a fisherwoman and did not have high standards, she was not stupid. She knew very well that someone who could play such a song would not be an ordinary person.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I never believed that there was such a so-called kind person in this world, and you just happened to appear in front of me."
A cool breeze blew over, causing a few strands of Ye Xuan's hair to flutter. His eyes were as deep as an ancient pond, causing Gu Xiaoxiao to lightly bite her lips. Then, she smiled and said, "Is that why you're staying by my side?"
"Perhaps," Ye Xuan said hoarsely.
…
As the days passed, Little River Village was quiet and peaceful. It was less noisy and noisy than the city, but it was more tranquil and peaceful.
Besides fishing with Gu Xiaoxiao every day, Ye Xuan would play the zither when he had nothing to do. Gu Xiaoxiao became his only loyal listener.
Today was the day that Gu Beichen returned home. Because his home was far from school, he could only return home twice a month. This made Gu Xiaoxiao prepare some delicacies for her brother to eat.
In the kitchen!
Waves of fragrance wafted out as exquisite dishes were served to the table by Gu Xiaoxiao. As for Ye Xuan, he was quietly reading an ancient book. His entire body was slightly calm.
Creak!
The sound of the door being pushed open could be heard. Gu Beichen was dirty all over. His simple clothes were torn and his eyes were red, as if he had just cried.
"Little Brother … What happened?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked anxiously when she saw her little brother's appearance.
"Sister, do we have to be bullied because we are poor?" The young man threw himself into his sister's arms and choked with sobs. Tears flowed from his eyes uncontrollably.
"You … You fought with your classmates?" Gu Xiaoxiao's expression was complicated and her voice sounded tired.
"Sister, I listened to you and didn't fight back. But they called me an orphan and a poor fisherman. They said that I will never be successful in this life."
"Alright, don't cry." Gu Xiaoxiao comforted him softly, "Although we are poor, we won't steal or rob, and we won't hurt anyone. We are poor, but we have ambition. As long as you study hard, you will become a useful person in the future."
"Ha!"
Suddenly, a sneer rang out, startling the siblings and causing them to look towards Ye Xuan.
At this moment!
Ye Xuan put down his book and looked at the youth through his hair. His voice was strange and inexplicable as he said, "Do you not want to be bullied?"
"Mu … Mu Mu … You …?" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the young man bit his lips and nodded.
"Actually, this matter is very simple. When you return to school tomorrow, find the person who scolded you the most and beat you the most. Beat him up until he begs for mercy. From then on, no one will bully you in school." Ye Xuan's voice was calm, but it was filled with a seductive charm.
"But … but I can't beat him." The young man stammered.
"Can't beat him?"
Ye Xuan laughed, but his laughter was very sinister. He said, "You are wrong. As long as your heart is vicious enough and your methods are ruthless enough, you will definitely be able to beat him. As long as you defeat the fiercest person in school, all the students will be afraid of you. Naturally, no one will bully you."
"Re … really?" The young man stuttered.
"Whether it is true or not, you can try." After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he did not say anything else. He picked up his book again and calmly read it.
These words caused Gu Xiaoxiao's expression to change greatly. She hurriedly warned the young man, "Little brother, you absolutely cannot do this. You must remember that you are a kind person. If you do this, then won't you also become a bad student? How is that different from the people who bullied you?"
"If I find out that you are fighting in school, see how I will deal with you." Gu Xiaoxiao glared hatefully at Ye Xuan, then loudly warned her little brother.
"Elder sister, I understand."
Under Gu Xiaoxiao's abuse of power, the young man hurriedly nodded in response. However, there was a hint of agitation in his eyes. Clearly, Ye Xuan's words were like a curse that was deeply imprinted in the young man's mind.
Dinner was quickly finished. The young man, Gu Beichen, once again regained his lively temperament and watched the program on the television. Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoxiao dragged Ye Xuan out of the room, her face full of anger.
In the small courtyard, Gu Xiaoxiao and Ye Xuan stood facing each other.
"Blockhead, you are too much. How can you teach my brother like that?" Gu Xiaoxiao reprimanded.
"Kind people are bullied, and kind horses are ridden. Don't you understand this principle?" Ye Xuan said calmly.
"You … you are talking nonsense." Gu Xiaoxiao's face flushed red. She was so angry at Ye Xuan that she was speechless.
"As a person, we must be kind. As long as we have a kind heart, we will definitely be rewarded." Gu Xiaoxiao persisted in her beliefs.
"Oh?"
Ye Xuan said softly, "Since you believe that people are kind by nature, and I believe that people are evil by nature, then let's make a bet. Let's see who is right and who is wrong."
Ye Xuan's words made Gu Xiaoxiao raise her voice. She asked, "How do you want to bet?"
"Let's bet on whether Gu Beichen will do as I say. How about that?" Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Alright, let's bet. But let me tell you, my little brother has never been in a fight since he was young. He is also a kind child. You will definitely lose." Gu Xiaoxiao stomped her feet angrily and turned to return to the house.
Looking at Gu Xiaoxiao's angry back, Ye Xuan's eyes were slightly unfocused. His voice was hoarse as he said, "If this world was filled with people like you, why would there be so many conflicts?"
…
The next morning.
When the first ray of sunlight rose from the east, the young man, Gu Beichen, also walked out of the house. Under Gu Xiaoxiao's earnest instructions, the young man rushed to school.
Ye Xuan stood in the attic and watched the young man's figure disappear into the distance. A strange smile appeared on his face.
"Gu Xiaoxiao, when you see the changes in your little brother, will you still believe in such boring things as people being kind by nature?" Ye Xuan said in a hoarse voice.
Half a month passed quickly.
This day, the young man, Gu Beichen, returned home. As usual, Gu Xiaoxiao prepared a meal and waited for her brother to return. When the sun was setting, light footsteps could be heard from outside the door.
"Sister, I'm back."
Before Gu Xiaoxiao could go out to welcome him, Gu Beichen pushed open the door and entered the house quickly. However, the scene in front of her stunned Gu Xiaoxiao.
What … did she see?
The young man, Gu Beichen, was wearing brand new clothes and sports shoes. He was holding a large number of gifts in his hands. He was standing excitedly in front of Gu Xiaoxiao.
